You will need:

• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow
• Jordana in Black
• Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener
• Seche Vite Top Coat
• Dotting tool

1.  Paint your nails in a yellow base.

2.  Cut thin strips of tape and tape them over the nail.  Make sure the tip of your nails is left wider than the others.

3.  Paint over in black.  What ever is not taped will be black.

 4.  Peel off the tape carefully and you should get something like this.

5.  Dot 2 white eyes with a dotting tool.  Top coat it all.

My favourite colour is yellow =)  This is a super cute and super simple design to do.
Happy Pride Week to all Vancouverites!

Blossoming

This nail look reminds me of Arizona Iced Tea cans.  Hope you like it!

You will need:

• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet
• Revlon Nail Enamel in Chocolate Truffle
• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Tea Rose
• Jordana in Island Fuchsia
• Seche Vite Top Coat

1.  Can you tell I love this colour?  Paint your base!

 2.  Using the brush from the bottle, paint branches on to the nails. You don't have to be clean.

3.  Dot on light pink flower pedals.

4.  Finally dot on a darker pink in the center of the larger pedals.  Don't forget to top coat!

It's really easy to do.  I added pedals on the other nails to make it look like the blossoms are blowing on to those nails.  Close enough?

Busy busy!!

It's been weeks!  I haven't had time to do any nail art.  But I took pictures of 2 looks I've been sporting during this time of chaos.

My favourite spring colour!  I bought this in Portland recently.  It's called Tarte Deco.

Yup, got my hands on some OPI Shatter in black.  I had Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet under it.  Looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream =)

Hopefully I'll have more time to get back on track soon.

Tickle Me Elmo

You must have grown up watching at least 1 episode of sesame street.  My favourite was Elmo and Big Bird.  I thought I'd go with Elmo this time.  I wanted to wear red =)

You will need:

• Wet n Wild Wild Shine in Red Red
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White on
• Jordana in Black
• Joe in Crush
• Seche Vite Top Coat (Finally got another bottle)

1. Paint a semi circle on the tip of your thumb.

2.  Dot on 2 white dots for the eyes.  Keep them close together.

3.  Paint on the smile with black.  Don't forget to dot his eyes!

4.  Of course, finish with the orange nose and a top coat.

Hope you like this one.  I haven't had much time to do my nails lately.  When I do have time, I can't make them too over the top.  Anyway, I'll try to keep doing at least 1 design a week.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to summer!!

Cheetah Cheetah

I'm not usually a fan of animal prints but lately, I feel like it's growing on me.  I've done a full set of cheetah nails before on myself and on my friends.  I think this print looks best on nails.  Zebra is nice but I felt that was too easy to do a tutorial on =P

You will need:

• Joe Fresh in Caramel
• Revlon in Chocolate Truffle
• Jordana in Black
• Rimmel Top Coat
• Thin paintbrush

 Meow!

1.  Paint your nails a creamy caramel base.  I just got Joe Fresh in Caramel recently and LOVE it!  It's a nice neutral polish to wear to work.

2.  Dot varying sized spots randomly in a brown polish with the polish brush.

3.  With a thin paintbrush and black, paint around the brown dots.  You don't have to be neat.  You also don't have to connect the black lines into a full circle.

3.  Add some filler dots, shapes and lines around.  Rawr!

I love this combo for cheetah nails!  I only painted my ring finger since I still have work tomorrow.  I've read up on the rules and I'm allowed to wear polish as long as it's not chipped.  But even so, I like to keep it a little bit subtle.

Have fun!
